If you have been away for a while or if you are about to start into a higher level and want to brush up on your pole technique and the material from the first 2 levels, Pole Review will do just that. We will go over all the tricks, transitions, strengthening work, and extras from Level 1-2 paying particular attention to the things that you need help with the most.
We will also revisit your injury prevention techniques and make sure that your form has not suffered in your vacation from pole dance or just due to laziness.
This review class is perfect for refreshing your memory on terminology (and, no, we don't care if it's "approved" terminology by any association - we do it dirty), names of moves & tricks and cleaning up any sloppy habits you may have picked up over time.
PRE-REQUISITE: Completetion of Levels 1, & 2. Transfer students and "experienced" dancers are not eligible for this class.

Not all pole dance classes are created equally! Don't be fooled by a low sticker price! This class is just like the Original Pole Cats® as far as the curriculum & quality goes but we have shortened the class, made it a more fast-paced to focus on cardio and reduced the price to accommodate the requests for a lower tuition. We cater to an exclusive clientele that recognizes quality and demands individualized attention and expertise. This class offers our clients and students the same quality instruction but at a quicker pace allowing those who may not be ready for a 90 minute class to build up endurance and prepare themselves for Level 2.
You will be learning 5 basic spins, preps for Level 2 work, pole transitions and exotic dance basics and simple floorwork. This class is GREAT for beginners who dont regularly exercise and students on a limited budget! Here is the interesting thing: regardless of what workshop your taking, the RATE PER HOUR IS STILL ONLY $26.67!!
Non-stop movement for cardio & endurance, great for beginners with no experience or who don't exercise regularly, individualized attention, aerial safety & injury prevention techniques, water for hydration, hand towels & sanitizer.
Longer class allows more strengthening & core exercises, more pole time, more personal attention, great for experienced dancers & fit beginners who want a challenge, aerial safety & injury prevention techniques, water for hydration, hand towels & sanitizer.

You've mastered your technique, you've braved the inversions, you have learned how to modify your pastiche of pole tricks and now it's time get into the tough stuff. Stuff that will take you a few weeks to really get. We focus on invert techniques, transitioning from spins and poses and more flexibility work. You have to have a flexible spine for the trickier tricks so let's get started on that! You'll understand why I have been making you do that since day one now. This class also preps you for shoulder mounts and acrobatic holds and handstands.

Are you already an exotic dancer but want to feel more confident onstage and about yourself?
Not a dancer and don't want to be? That's cool, too. You can still learn some new things for yourself.
This class will help you develop the attitude for making money while using your dance skills as a way to "negotiate" your income from your customers. We will focus on proper pole alignment, strengthening and developing choreography, how to carry yourself in the club (perfect for outside the club as well) and cleaning up the tricks we already know so they are solid and graceful. You will learn the difference between a dancer who is just "getting by" with what she knows and a dancer that is maximizing her earning potential with her understanding of sensual expression and movement. We will teach you how to lap dance LEGALLY and RESPECTFULLY and still make money, exotic stage floorwork, pole dance and the art of seduction and how to make up to $100 per hour as a dancer! There is a subtle sales technique that helps you win any man over! Polish your pole dancing and lap dancing enough to be ready to go to the club to ask for a job without anxiety. You got this! You're a Pussycat!!!
Non-dancers can benefit from the confidence you gain by walking with more poise and direction. Attract a different kind of man! You can only attract good men when you are being good to yourself. Feel more seductive in the bedroom. Learn to give a lap dance that will knock his socks off!
This class is open to ALL dancers at ALL levels.
Bring your stripper shoes, shorts, and a handtowel.

FLUIDITY & TRANSITIONS-$35
JUNE 15 - 6PM
Acrobatic poses are impressive signs of strength. They are also not for every body. I use "every body" in two words rather than one because I mean it quite literally.
You can pole dance for years and you know what? You just might not have the "body" type for certain poses and tricks. Or, your body may not be prepared to execute those tricks at the moment. So what do you do?
Lao Tzu said "The fluidity of water is not the result of any effort on the part of the water, but is its natural property."
The most beautiful pole dancing looks effortless and natural. Rigidity will make your movements stiff and awkward and can make an impressive trick look like a struggle. Fluidity will make you confident, resilient, peaceful and happy. True inner strength and confidence result in fluidity of character, for they need not be defended. In addition, fluidity stems from an understanding of the way things work.
This class will break down the way things work. Almost annoyingly so.
I will provide you with exercises to increase your fluidity and flexibility, smooth out your sensual movements and new ways to transition from one move to the next.

POLE BASIX - $25
Mondays - 7:30 pm
This class covers the basic exotic dance movements and fundamentals for learning to move sexy and look graceful and elegant on the pole and tips and tricks to help you avoid looking like an amatuer. Even if you are just wanting to learn for yourself and NOT for working in a club, you will benefit from these seductive movements and tricks on the pole. We cover proper form, shoulder and spine alignment, a basic spin and strengthening exercises to help you look sleek and sexy.
This class is perfect for those who want to ease into pole dancing or who are afraid that they "can't" pole dance or don't to learn crazy acrobatic tricks right now. You can do it!!! It's easy when you learn through a progression designed to build your strength and confidence at the same time.
We do recommend you pre-register to hold your spot. You may drop in if you like but if the class is full with registrations, you will not be able to attend that particular session.
Latin dance is one of my favorite types of dance and being "unenhanced" in the club means you have to find another way to get attention. Pole Salsa was my thing. The hot, pounding rhythms of Latin music, the sensuality of the movement, and the fiery attitude that goes with it makes this class one hell of a workout. Lose yourself in twists, turns, leg work, hair-flips and fast footwork. The footwork itself is a challenge and helps your with your fppt and ankle strength, as well as grace and agility in your stripper shoes. We do cover the basic spins and tricks in our warm up session and then go right into our choreography. Each class features a new routine.

This is a BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE CLASS.
PRE-REQUISITES: It is recommended that you take Pole Basix or any Level 1 first.
Please register in advance. This class is limited to 5 women. NO SHOW=NO REFUND!
Private Pole Dance Training - $65 per person/per session (up to 3 people per session)
One-on-One Classes - $100 per session (Solo instruction)
Saturday Privates - $125 per session (Solo instruction)
Due to an extremely busy schedule, I only book privates on Tuesdays and Thursday from 1-5 pm. Saturday appointments are a higher fee ($125 for a 90 minute session).
I do regular strength training for those who are professional working girls, exotic dancers, ballroom dancers, competition ice skaters, or women who want to train in private before moving onto a class setting. I train dancers for feature club perfomances, fitness & body building competitors, adult film stars, and other professional dancers to polish thier stage routines and/or teach them the secrets to making a ton of money in the club. I can customize unique choreographies for feature shows and develop and refine your stage presence to maximize your earnings! I give homework and require you to practice so that you are not wasting your money. My goal is to help YOU succeed - and I am tough - but you can do it! I HAVE A LONG HISTORY AS A DANCE PROFESSIONAL AND TRAINING OTHER DANCE PROFESSIONALS. You can't get that in a weekend workshop.
Having been in the fitness and personal training industry for over 10 years, I can also help you with your diet and fitness regimen if you feel you need to lose weight, change your diet or lean out.
My private schedule currently has a 3 week waiting list and I can only accomodate 2-3 serious new students per month. Because of my busy schedule, it is necessary that I group interested parties together in Privates. This limits the number of women in each session to 3 women per session and saves you quite a bit of money. Each Private session is 90 minutes and is $65 per person.
For those who insist on my undivided attention, I can schedule a One-on-One session for you with advance notice. Each One-on-One session is 90 minutes and each session is $100.
If you are interested in training privately with me, call me to set up your sessions or ask questions about how I can help you achieve your dance and fitness goals.
Comfortable dance/workout clothing. Please do not wear the wide legged yoga pants or gaucho pants or palazzo pants as they tangle on the pole. High heels of your choice (optional), a hand towel and a bottle of water. No rings or bracelets or watches. The poles will damage your jewelry and we will not be responsible for lost or stolen items. It's best to leave your bling-bling at home, girls. Knee pads are also strongly recommended. You can buy these at any Wal-Mart, Target or sports store for $5-10. Do not get roller-blading knee pads or plastic covered knee pads. Just plain ol' knee pads.
Class/Course Length
The Pole Dance Sessions are 90 minutes; Class meets once a week (same day). This course runs 6 consecutive weeks (six 90 minutes classes).
Payment Info
Payment is due upfront, all at once. The reason for this is that over the last 10 years that I have been teaching fitness, I have found that women find all kinds of reasons to "skip" class. This puts them behind in their progression and makes it difficult to achieve their goals. The justification "Oh, I'll go next week." sabotages every effort until you feel like you've failed and disappointed in yourself again. I'm on you like white on rice, stink on skunk, bees on honey....my theory is "you've already paid the money, you'd better bring your butt to class! NO EXCUSES!"
